Heading For Little Rock! Maverick

Trainer trucks are heavier if I remember correctly. I weigh just over 29,300 full of fuel and empty. I have hauled a coil that was almost that exact same weight. I was real close to gross weight max. Sometimes we have to get permits for the PLD loads.

 

You might want to cut down on some wooden coins

 

I usually weigh 28,800 empty and full of fuel. Couple weeks ago I scaled a load of pressure treated lumber at 80,180. That made the load weight 51,380.

 

I was told that we're allowed 80,500 lbs. 500 lbs over to allow for the apu unit. But I wouldn't want to chance it.

 

Well, it's official, I'm heading to Little Rock!!!!first week of September (09/08/13)....I'm eager, excited and more than a little scared, this is gonna be one helluva career change for me!!!Flatbeds here I come!!!

Again, thanks to all you Maverick posters, all the info on this site helped me narrow down my choices (trucking co., division). God Bless you all and see you around!!!

 

Good luck!!!

 

welcome and you're welcome. Lol
